Title: Consumer Unit Characteristics: Number of Consumer Units by Housing Tenure: Homeowner without Mortgage Series ID: CXUCONSUNITLB1704M Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Release: Consumer Expenditure Surveys Seasonal Adjustment: Not Seasonally Adjusted Frequency: Annual Units: Thousands Date Range: 2003-01-01 to 2022-01-01 Last Updated: 2023-09-14 4:12 PM CDT Notes: Housing tenure refers to the family's principal place of residence during the survey. "Owner" includes families living in their own homes, cooperatives or condominium apartments, or townhouses. "Renter" includes families paying rent, as well as families living rent-free in lieu of wages. A consumer unit comprises either: (1) all members of a particular household who are related by blood, marriage, adoption, or other legal arrangements; (2) a person living alone or sharing a household with others or living as a roomer in a private home or lodging house or in permanent living quarters in a hotel or motel, but who is financially independent; or (3) two or more persons living together who use their income to make joint expenditure decisions. Financial independence is determined by the three major expense categories: Housing, food, and other living expenses. To be considered financially independent, at least two of the three major expense categories have to be provided entirely, or in part, by the respondent.
